Personalised Environmental Control Systems (PECS) allow occupants to adjust their immediate surroundings without affecting others, offering the potential to enhance comfort, health and well-being while improving building energy efficiency.

This webinar will present the state of research and development across the four environmental domains PECS address, drawing on activities developed within IEA EBC Annex 87. It opens with the human benefits of thermal and indoor air quality PECS, followed by an overview of the methods used to evaluate their thermal comfort, indoor air quality and energy performance. Two further presentations extend the concept beyond its established thermal and air quality roots into the emerging visual and acoustic domains. Together, the presentations map current evidence, evaluation approaches and knowledge gaps in personalised environmental control.

The webinar programme includes presentations by Ongun Berk Kazanci (DTU), Dolaana Khovalyg (EPFL), Ilaria Pigliautile (CIRIAF), Alessandra Luna Navarro (TU Delft) and Simone Torresin (University of Trento), with dedicated Q&A sessions following each presentation.

The webinar is organised by IEA EBC Annex 87, AIVC and venticool, and facilitated by INIVE.
